KlrcHUM KEYs7oxE: On Wednes-

day last the heaviest transaction in
the mining line in Idaho was arrang-
ed, aCamas No. 2" mine Of the Cam
as Gold Belt, and all property con-
nected Herewith being negotiated
under bond for the enormous sum of
two million dollars, the purchasers
being a syndicate Of French and Eng
Iish capitalists through distinguish
ed American now abroad. He, in turn
being represented in the transaction
here by Prof. A. D. Churchill Of the
Columbia School Of mines.
The Idaho attorneys acting in the
matter were Hyndman & Batten OF
Ketchum, Major Hyndman represent
ing the purchasers in legal ca
pacity.
1t is an assured sale and the pur-
chasers take possession Of the mine,
mill and all property forthwith, and
operate under lease pending the full
consummation Of the deal and payment
for the property. James r. Pile,
one of the veteran disciples of the art
preservative on the Pacific coast ar
rived in Ketchum on Tuesday froos
Boise City to accept place in, the
keystone Office. There is no telling
how old Mr.. Pile is. Many years ago,
away back in the early sixties, he ac-
knowledged to being 81, but from that
time he seems to have grown younger
and younger, until one is half inclined
to believe that there is, somewhere IN
the universe, such a thing as the
Fountain of Life, which Haggard, in
his wonderful "She" SO graphically
depicts, and that Pile has tasted OF
the fame and found the secret of eter-
nal life. He left Boise last Monday
and on his arrival at Kuna saw for
the first time In his life locomotive
and train of cars. 1t wasa wonderful
sight to him to see the ponderous en-
gine and cars move off like a thing
of life and totally at variance with
his preconcelved ideas Of how raj
transportation was accomplished. Mr.
Pile bears his years well and is a.
lively and supple as many half as ole
as he. 80. "A romantic marriage tool
